latest news in the week's top stories on our egypt's new constitution and trying is a law making law look set to pass as most voters seemingly back the draft in a referendum preceded by weeks of fierce protests plus. the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun gun lobby logic which in a sense is millions of americans calling for tougher controls as the country pays its final tribute to the infants and teachers killed in last week's shooting massacre. and eye for an eye moscow moves

a step closer to banning americans from adopting russian children in response to washington slapping sanctions on russian officials. and government left unaffected. but says that wiki leaks is set to release a million new secret files in the new year. two am in moscow treasure bring you today's top stories and a look back at the week's news here on our t.v. egypt's new constitution appears to have passed as a historic vote winning the majority of popular support according to unofficial tally is the referendum on the islam is a backdraft has led to deep divisions within the country and sparked violent protests cairo based journalist bel true has more. the preliminary results are in

for egypt's contentious constitutional referendum egypt appears to voted for the constitution sixty four percent say yes. thirty six percent have said no this comes after mass dissent in the streets across the country with the cost three weeks against this constitution opposition forces say force a presidential dictatorship and was drafted by an islamist dominated assembly of the twenty seven governors that went to vote in the last week only three voted against the constitution. this in the last round is largely due to the fact that in the last seventeen governments they went to vote a large amount of them are rural governorates large muslim brotherhood supports places the opposition forces for their part say that the reason it is a yes is because of electoral violations they say they've seen a number of instances of possible vote rigging including missing judges

unsupervised polling stations missing ballot papers stuff the ballot boxes and also campaigning by the mr brotherhood groups also ultra conservative salafist groups with in the polling stations telling people to vote yes the biggest news of the day however is the resignation of the vice president mohamed mickey this is largely seen to be perhaps because in the draft constitution as it currently stands there is no post for the vice president this comes in the background of deepening violence across the country on friday we saw clashes between rival protest groups limits rallies in egypt second city xandra in support of the constitution there was rock throwing and also burning of cars the police had to intervene with tear gas that comes just one week after similar clashes and xandra and of course three weeks after very bloody scenes here in the capital cairo we saw ten people die when

robert. says greeks and fought outside the presidential palace with a deepening political crisis and neither side backing down now the constitution is likely to be put in place we can only expect dissent on the street and possible violence across the country earlier he spoke with a representative of egypt's opposition for their reaction to the referendum made how are you from a aldosterone party headed by mohamed el baradei believes the allegations of vote rigging must be investigated this constitution and this around is is a disgrace to a nation that far hard for its freedom and for its rights it's a document that drips rips out all the all the rights that we've earned and it's right to constitute a dictatorship and it has been stopped by a referendum that was a massive massive rigging for the ballot boxes massive rigging for the voice of the people physically see tens and hundreds of schools tens and hundreds of schools

where the ballot boxes and the referendum process was taking place at a convenient time when when the voices were very all the pools saw that the people were voting no the power was cut off the most of the other night if movie asked judges and employees and that's cool shuts down the school over. the front of the voters and the same with the ballot boxes not overseas for hours and hours we are not recognise any results unless we see a proper investigation and a proper digging through the evidence that we've put and we receive a proper answer from the high committee of the election. syrian rebels say government airstrikes killed dozens of people waiting in line at a bakery in the hama province as with many previous accusations claims by the opposition come during a major international push to resolve the conflict this time it's the visit of the u.n. envoy to damascus meanwhile russia's foreign minister has denied claims that moscow's

plans to offer shelter to president assad sergey lavrov also said toppling the current regime won't end the bloodshed in the country r.t.a. spoke exclusively to sergei lavrov who said there are many forces in syria using tactics banned under. international law. groups of that position. several which are not united on this single come month the whole series of acceptable methods salut to come through international human if they're in love. they can close to just. the staging terrorist attacks and that is very disheartening that western clothes in the security council started to refuse. terrorist attacks in syria saying that yes there is no. but you must they conclude the overall context of what is going

on in syria and why people the result there was that this it's absolutely unacceptable and this logic we will be best if we forward this logic might lead us through a very dangerous situation not only in the middle east but in other parts of the world. and the west would start would begin to. qualify terrorist as. bed terrorist and acceptable terrorists. out of afghanistan and into the gulf britain planning a military boost in the oil rich region later this hour we'll look at what's at stake for the u.k. in the gulf and where this new buildup might lead. and no end in sight to the trouble in europe as thousands of greeks and spaniards again take to the streets in protest against suffocating austerity cuts. but

first it's been a heartbreaking week of farewells in newtown connecticut where all twenty children and six adults have been laid to rest this after one of the worst mass shootings in u.s. history the massacre reignited a fierce debate on gun laws critics say current legislation makes it too easy for the public to buy military grade weapons. and has more on americans taking a hard look at the second amendment. a week after the tragedy at the elementary school in newtown president obama made the same pledge when he became president four years ago to try and get assault weapons off the streets of the u.s. it's a pledge he has failed to deliver on this is not the first issue the first incident going back of your four years. but the administration indicates this time it's different this time they're serious it will take commitment and compromise. and most of all it will take coach shooting is full and it's a school and it's an important part of our hearing the debate taking place at the

moment suggests a national consensus on the issue is far down the line and the dialogue between those who support and those who oppose such a ban comes down to this with guns comes safety if the guns are in the hands of the good guys if you not believe the stupid man on the powerful special interest group in washington the national rifle association has successfully fought any form of gun control legislation for years and the solution they offer a half to death because of gun violence that has played in the us is more guns. the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. constitutional lawyer roger pilon things along the same lines and suggest arming teachers to prevent massacres like the one in newtown connecticut you're always going to have people who are going to be doing these kinds of evil deeds

what you need to do is protect yourself against their weapons in schools and you go to a movie theater you have to carry a gun because there will be there maybe someone with a semiautomatic you know wiping out the entire theater. as we have seen is that what you're suggesting. where do you put it provocatively like that what i'm suggesting people movie theater yes because the police cannot be everywhere they're almost three hundred million privately owned farms in the u.s. around ten thousand americans die in gun violence every year the gun murder rate in the u.s. is almost twenty times higher than in the next twenty two richest and most populous nations combined. we have three hundred million guns in america but also the population of three hundred million people so it's one gun per person and if more guns are actually the solution to deterring shootings it many times it would have

this problem in the first place the gun adam lanza used to kill twenty young children and six adults of the sandy hook elementary school was an a r fifteen semiautomatic rifle it's a military style rifle that can shoot hundreds of rounds at a rapid speed it belongs to adams mother who he also murdered nancy lanza a teacher at the same elementary school owned six guns numerous types of assault weapons are readily available for purchase in the u.s. at gun stores at gun shows and online after the newtown tragedy many americans are calling for change again. make it inherently make it worth something. because you can't create a previous meaningful attempts to change a wall and that wall is the second amendment of the constitution the right of the people to bear arms skeptics say the most the administration can do is require background checks at gun shows but again adam lanza's mother

a teacher at an elementary school would have probably passed any of those checks on her military style rifle would have ended up in the hands of her son anyway that constitutional lawyer i spoke to seemed very certain that nothing major is going to change when it comes to gun laws in america does that mean more massacres like the tragedy new cow in washington i'm going to check on. and on r t dot com or asking what you think can be done to reduce the number of gun deaths in the u.s. here's how the tally stacks up so far thirty five percent think the media should be restrained from overhyping massacres slightly fewer say nothing can be done while the second amendment is firmly in place about a fifth of respondents calling for a harsher new gun laws and restrictions while eleven percent propose increasing security in public places what do you think log on to our t dot com and click here but. wiki leaks chief julian assange says about a million secret files are said to be released over the next year he claims the

information won't leave a single country in the world untouched songe made the pledge during a christmas address to supporters gathered outside the ecuadorian embassy in london the speech marks six months since the whistleblower entered the mission seeking political asylum to avoid extradition he's been there since facing immediate arrest if he sets foot outside kristen roughened center from wiki leaks insists the songes predicament won't stop the site from its drive for truth and spam and transparency . investigation and you are you know something that is. to find an angle to bring charges against julian and possibly all those working for we believe as a very serious matter of course very shameful for the obama administration not to stop but for the man who was right even taken four years ago to increase transparency and what we have seen is totally the opposite we hunt against

whistleblowers. that has no first place in history we will continue our work as we have done despite the difficult situation that julie has been in in the ecuadorian embassy now for six months but probably it was their house arrest that hasn't stopped us we have continued to work. the economic blockade has not stopped us either even though we are getting into a dire situation financially but the battle that we have decided to turn into an all out war and until we have a victory there as well in the new year. more of the stories that shape the week coming up after a short break stay with us. what do you see when you look at the scroll perhaps you wonder what bright future she'll have or maybe you feel sympathy for her because you see she's in

a wheelchair but if you're t.s.a. agent then you see hard core terrorist skull finding a small amount of residue from explosives on the girl's hands she was detained for almost an hour and her tears for mercy did not move the inspectors to allow her mother to be with her as they took her away for further inspection said the t.s.a. agents can put two and two together and realize that people in wheelchairs get all sorts of random stuff on their hands because the wheels they push roll along the ground when will these endless tales of bizarre instance of the t.s.a. stop when will they stop worrying about girls in wheelchairs when will they stop searching under a terminally ill woman's bandages and when will they actually catch a terrorist when you can security feels a lot more like ridiculous tyranny to me but that's just my opinion.

divine power in action activate the sacraments. i am jesus we need these we are under the control of those governing us before at the service of a space mafia i found on that date the magnetic field of the sun realty. and if they will create the super got us there. after the second coming it will be a futile place it will receive its glory it will be a renewed world and it will be

a beautiful place. full of the best. little stuff the ammunition. it's good business for us it's kind of like being a doctor you know if there's a disaster businesses. better unfortunately. the. mission. could take three. four to three major months three. three. three. three brown b.t.o. four year media projects free media r.t. dot com.

thanks for sticking with us here on our t.v. seventeen minutes past the hour now there's been a series of tit for tat moves between moscow and washington this week restrictions to stop americans adopting russian children were approved by russia's lower house of parliament the move is intended to put the white house under public pressure to reconsider its sanctions on some russian lawmakers the ban that split russian public opinion as part of a wider legislation meant to target those who abuse the rights of russians abroad it was sparked by washington imposing travel and financial restrictions on russian officials suspected of involvement in the death of lawyer sergey magnitsky he died in custody during a massive tax fraud investigation three years ago russian president vladimir putin though has said the u.s. should look at its own record before criticizing others for human rights violations . our u.s. partners and their lawmakers say they are concerned about human rights in our

prisons and that's fine of course but there are plenty of issues they have themselves ghraib and guantanamo where for years people have been detained without charge it's inconceivable prisoners walk around in chains like in the middle ages legalized torture inside their own country if something like that happened here it would cause an international outcry. in the us we've heard plenty of promises to close guantanamo but it's still there it's still operating maybe there is still torture going on there secret cia prisons has anyone been brought to account and they're pointing out it's our problems well thank you we're aware of that making this the ground for passing anti-abortion laws it's something absurd and we have a no way provoked such action and when you. hear putin's arrived in new delhi india

on an official visit the russian leader will meet with india's prime minister and other officials to discuss cooperation between the two states talks are expected to focus primarily on boosting economic trade and military and energy ties several agreements expected to come out of the trip including a large contracts for the sale of military technology this is putin's first trip to south asia since his return to the kremlin in may. last week europe's i yet another wave of protests in two countries worst affected by the continent's debt crisis wednesday a twenty four hour general general strike in the greek capital left public services and transportation is paralyzed this is four of the country's biggest banks declared they would need a twenty seven billion euro bailout belo boost to stay afloat meanwhile a new austerity drive by the spanish government drove thousands into the streets of madrid in protest demonstrators called it a budget of hunger and misery and held a mock funeral march for the country's finances investment advisor patrick young

says madrid's burden is the result of years of policy mistakes by the government. the truth is there is no money to pay all of these nurses and doctors there is no money for this loutish going to rock your hip pocket to be. both there how. come fortunately while we can obviously say it's a tragedy for the poor independent health care professionals there's just no way to manage to find the money to pay them in modern spain here is a government that has effectively in an overall majority they can do absolutely anything they want and they seem to be absolutely determined to do more or less nothing and it's really a tragedy because they're not helping the spanish economy under not helping the people either as opposed out of afghanistan britain is looking to deploy more troops to the gulf as part of

a major weapons deal with the united arab emirates is according to prime minister david cameron who says he wants a defense partnership with a middle eastern monarchy the u.k. has also signed a four billion dollar contract with oman to supply it with aircraft geo political analyst patrick hemmings in things london is really looking for a way to apply military pressure on a country on the other side of the persian gulf. the justification for this massive buildup in the middle east especially in the gulf states area of the west is blaming iran saying that because iran is pursuing nuclear ambitions though there's no proof of any weapons programs as such they're blaming iran for a possible nuclear arms race in the region that's a quote from david cameron only days ago so the circle min of iran is certainly a geopolitical still number one priority and i think they've achieved that militarily but you know the question is. is this going to be

a real military standoff are we looking at a cold war situation where we just posturing militarily geopolitically looking for some bigger conflicts down the road perhaps in a few years turning now to some other stories making global headlines starting in india where and you rate rallies have seen thousands clashed with police in the capital new delhi marchers demanding the death sentence for six men who allegedly raped a twenty three year old woman on a bus protesters defied a government ban on demonstrations after violence at a similar rally saturday police used tear gas and water cannons when crowds tried to breach barricades in the center of the city people remain on the streets despite the home minister promising to consider the death penalty for all six suspects. a red alerts been issued in chile for the couple who have all kaino that's become increasingly active regional emergency offices registered seismic activity and a cloud of ash at least one and a half kilometers high this more than

a year after another volcanic eruption and she lay forced thousands to flee their homes. and doomsday or payday in a few minutes we take a look at those making money on the apocalypse stay with us here on r.t. . the stunning beauty of reindeer gracefully dancing across the arctic tundra more than just a scenic image it is a way of life traditionally the people are. herders and though in many ways they lead a simple and rustic life they are also highly skilled and organized in. another week preparing for. a response this summer depending on. the day we found this particularly camp they were settled near the coast of the see here for families work together to manage nearly a thousand reindeer herding reindeer is not just

a job for the people in fact they say it's a part of their entire culture heritage and way of life and back they say that they can use almost every single part of the reindeer to help them survive. the deer is a means of transportation. for the outside and. the life in the tundra is harsh and so before winter hits many of the children are helicoptered to the center of the district and not even for boarding school. students learn different languages utilize modern technologies through specialized grant programs and even learn arts skills all within a protected environment the school was founded. a scientist who wanted a better way of life for his people but even with the most progressive ideas and education many say they don't want to trade the modern life for their beloved.

i have returned to the tundra and i actually like it here if you're outside there's fresh air fresh water looks at the site you can see deer it's a joyful sight. a sentiment that hopefully ensures that russia's northern reindeer will have caretakers for generations to come. choose your language. because we know if you. choose that the consensus can. choose the opinions that immigrate to. choose the stories that impact your life choose access to.
